Update.
Govt. view of the problem for Derby County is to do little at the moment apart from calling for pragmatism from all parties. The Labour shadow minister pinned the blame fairly and squarely on Mel Morris. One Conservative MP said it would be ironic if Steve Gibson who saved Middlesbrough would end up as the cause of Derby folding.
Andy McDonald spoke very well and corrected the record and pointed out that for months Boro had been waiting to hear from the administrators and were willing to come to a pragmatic solution. He also pointed out that the problem was one of Derby County's making in particular, Mel Morris and reiterated the point that MFC has made that they have no desire to see Derby go out of business.
It seems as if a "reasonable" offer from one of the bidders would resolve the matter. I wonder what sum Steve Gibson has in mind.
